The Above and Beyond Bromley Business Awards
From the sole trader working from their kitchen counter to the 50-strong team from a well-established company, local businesses are the backbone of our communities, providing goods and services that enhance our quality of life. These businesses are owned and operated by people who are passionate about their work and committed to making a positive impact on a local level.
The Above & Beyond Bromley Business Awards (The ABBBAs) recognises the hard work, dedication and innovation of businesses throughout the London borough of Bromley.
Any business, large or small and based in the borough
has the opportunity to win an ‘ABBBA’.

We believe that by shining a spotlight on exceptional businesses and highlighting what they do and how they do it, we can inspire others and ultimately make our community even stronger.
We are accepting nominations for a range of awards including Best Startup and Best Social Impact, among others. Judging is performed on a points system rather than a popularity contest; the panel of judges will independently evaluate each nomination based on a set of criteria that reflects the values of our community.
So, whether you’re a small business owner looking for recognition, or a community member who wants to show your appreciation for a business that makes a difference, we invite you to participate in the Above and Beyond Bromley Business Awards. And if you need any more convincing, here are 11 reasons why entering The ABBBAs (or any business awards) can be great for business.
The ABBBAs presents an exciting opportunity to come together and celebrate the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit that makes our community so special.
It’s time to celebrate!
“The ABBBAs aims to acknowledge, raise awareness of and celebrate those companies within the Bromley borough that go ‘Above and Beyond’ for their customers, local residents or the wider community. These businesses are the backbone of our communities, and I believe that it’s important to shine a light on them as an inspiration to others.”
